Take it from this black guy:
"My parents immigrated to the United States from India a few years after Dr. King was assassinated. They came looking for an equal opportunity, and they got it, in the Deep South, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My parents wanted only to be judged based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
In 2003, I decided to run for governor of Louisiana, a state where David Duke got 44 percent of the statewide vote in 1990. The pundits said I was insane to even try. Friends worried about my mental stability and begged me not to run. I narrowly lost that first race, but I’ve won every race since then. I wish I had a nickel for every time East Coast political journalists have asked me about discrimination, and I wish I had a dime for every Louisiana voter who has broken those journalists’ ugly stereotypes.
Here’s what I’ve found in Louisiana: The voters want to know what you believe, what you stand for, and what you plan to do, not what shade your skin is. And I think that’s true of the country as a whole: America’s younger generation pays less attention to skin color than the generations that preceded them. (By the way, I noticed recently that the president of the United States, a man with whom I disagree with on almost everything, seems to have darker skin than most Americans. He hasn’t had a problem getting elected.)"

Bullshit!! Blacks can't walk down city blocks without worrying about high powered water hoses, nazis walking around with vicious German shepards and clones of James Earl Ray with sniper rifles perched atop every rooftop!

Aren't Indians mostly Caucasian? Also no one ever kept indians as slaves in this country
Not that I disagree with the fella but the Left will shoot this down on technicalities and manage to ignore the main point

Then again: if hindus get attacked in retribution for 9-11, I doubt many rednecks would be aware of the distinction.

Yes but his thesis is that his skin color is dark and his people do just fine. If whitie is racist wouldn't they be so against all darkies?
Not sure what else we are to do for blacks. I understand the history but eventually it's time to man up and take responsibility. Doubt more liberal policies shoved down people's throats will work because they haven't. And hell I'm even a liberal!

They were just enslaved by England. Indians are brown Asians not Caucasians.

Caucasians originated from India, yes.
